Adults should take lessons from some of these kids!
A group of professional people posed this question to
a group of 4 to 8 year olds. "What does love mean?"
the answers they got were broader and deeper than
anyone could have imagined.
1. When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend
over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa
does it for her now all the time, even when his hands
got arthritis too. That's love. Rebecca - age 8
2. When someone loves you, the way they say your name
is different. You just know that your name is safe in
their mouths. Billy - age 4
3. Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts
on shaving Cologne and they go out and smell each
other. Kari - age 5
4. Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your french fries without making them give you
any of theirs. Chrissy - age 6
5. Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
Terri - age 4
6. Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and
she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure
the taste is OK. Danny - age 7
7. Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you
get tired of kissing, you still want to be together
and you talk more. My mommy and my daddy are like
that. They look gross when they kiss. Emily - age 8
8. Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if
you stop opening presents and listen. Bobby - age 7
(WOW!)
9. If you want to learn to love better, you should
start with a friend who you hate. Nikka - age 6
10. Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt,
then he wears it everyday. Noelle - age 7
11. Love is like a little old woman and a little old
man who are still friends even after they know each
other so well. Tommy - age 6
12. During my piano recital, I was on stage and I was
scared. I looked at all the people watching me, and
saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one
doing that. I wasn't scared anymore. Cindy - age 8
13. My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see
anyone else kissing me to sleep at night. Clare - age 6
14. Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of
chicken. Elaine - age 5
15. Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty
and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford.
Chris - age 7
16. Love is when your puppy licks your face even after
you left him alone all day. Mary Ann - age 4
17. When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and
down and little stars come out of you. Karen - age 7
18. Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and
doesn't think it's gross. Mark - age 6
19. You really shouldn't say "I LOVE YOU" unless you
mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.
People forget. Jessica - age 8 (priceless)
And the winner was a 4-year old child whose next-door
neighbor was an elderly man who had just lost his
wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little boy
went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of
the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's
mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbor, the
little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
Have a blessed day! <(((><
One day we will meet beside the river and our Lord will dry every
tear. For now, we must live in the joy of that promise and recall that for
every generation life is hard, but God is faithful.
GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I!
What you are is God's gift to you;
what you become is your gift to God!!
